Arya Escort Mission: Part 1

"Woah! It's my first time riding a ship!"

Sarada shouted in excitement, and even Boruto and Mitsuki were excited about their first trip with a ship.

It wasn't a big cruise or aircraft carrier that the Elemental nations have bought. Instead, it was a relatively normal sized civilian ship with the flag of Land of Fire.

"Don't be too excited. The New World is a War Zone, and has only established ceasefire for a while due to Hokage-sama and the 5 kages. Something is clearly wrong as most of the awakeners disappeared at the same time. P-"

"Aw Shino-sensei! We can handle it. Almost no one there has chakra. Even if any bad guy appears, we can handle them!"

Boruto dismissed Shino's warnings, so he took out a gun and shot a bullet just past.

*BANG!*

"I intentionally missed."

Everyone quieted down, scared of Shino-sensei and started paying complete attention to him.

"An average genin is about a hundred times physically stronger, faster and sturdier than a person without chakra.

Any genin in Konoha can dodge a pistol bullet easily. There is no difference between a pistol bullet and shuriken.

The genins who have good speed, like you three, can barely dodge a machine bullet. It's like a chunin who has almost reached jonin level is throwing kunais at you, but in very large numbers.

A chunin can barely dodge high end guns, but have no way to dodge missiles.

A jonin can actually normal dodge missiles, and a high end and specialised jonins can even counter them.

But for a ballistic missile, nuclear warhead and other dangerous weapons, only high end jonins specialising in speed and distructive power, and the Kage level people can counter them. But they will cause destruction of the surroundings. They can be at the level of a tailed beast bomb.

Only someone like 7th Hokage can not only easily dodge, but can also prevent the surrounding destruction even if all countries fired off all their weapons at the same time.

Last year, USA fired a nuclear missile from a aircraft that was 'stolen' by a 'rebel' at the Seventh Hokage when he was sleeping after fixing the barrier halfway.

The New World now knows that as long as he is here, they can't threaten us. But the entire population of the Shinobi world is just 100 million, with Fire Country having the most, 25 million. And their population right now is around 5.6 billion according to Lord Seventh. And Second and Third most populated countries are the war with each other. Along with many more countries.

As per the report, 7 out of 9 nuclear powers are at war. One is going through a civil war. And while 1 has managed to be neutral till now, we can't say for how much that will last.

That's why, while it is a C-rank mission for genins, since we are going into one of the neutral countries while Team 8 and the prospective Team 9 and 10 are going into another neutral country, though the war traffic is more there.

So, be serious about this. We need to be stealthy, as they may be hostile towards us due to their infants dying due to chakra.

This is a Stealth mission, so we will disguise ourselves as Land of Fire merchents, while some Konoha shinobi will act like the guardians of the ship. As we reach the southern tip of India, we will infiltrate the country by bypassing their security, reach the tracking seal that Lord Seventh's clone has, take Arya Singh into our protection, and retreat via an oil cargo ship a week later that will be returning to Suna.

All of you understood?"

"""Yes sensei!"""

"Keep your voice low during the mission."

"""Yes sensei."""

"Good."

Shino-sensei turned around and after using transformation jutsu, started heading towards the port.

"Hey, don't you think it is the first time Shino-sensei has spoken so much?"

Boruto whispered.

"Yeah. It seems like this is a very serious mission."

Sarada whispered with a frown.

"Yeah."

Mitsuki also agreed, while keeping his eyes on Boruto.

"Come quickly. We have to reach there within a day."

As the three performed transformation jutsu and started walking behind Shino, he had a serious expression, something unusual for his stoic face.

'I hope what you said wouldn't turn true, Shikamaru.'

(Arya's PoV)

On the top of a hill, she was meditating alongside a Seventh Hokage's clone.

Her eyes opened, revealing orange eyes, very unusual for a person in the New World.

'I hope he is able to be like those two.'
